"Run like hell and get the agony over with." ~ Clarence DeMar

Present Day

Sherlock did not have to be told twice to move.

Sherlock back up then squinted in the dim light at the floor. He looked for anything that would trip him when he ran. He ran full speed then used one leg to help propel himself up the wall. He grunted as his chest slammed into the wall. Sherlock struggled briefly as he pulled himself up.

He found himself in an alley.

He pushed himself up to his feet.

He ran.

Donovan with Lestrade leaning on her shoulder, were running the best they could. Donovan glance back almost stumbling.

"Go," Sherlock, yelled.

When Donovan saw that Sherlock was out of the building, she concentrated on running as she helped Lestrade to run. They almost reached the opening of the alleyway.

Several rescue workers saw them and ran toward them. One reached and helped Donovan with Lestrade.

Adrenaline pumped through Sherlock's body. He was gaining on the two.

His chest ached.

He ignored it.

He ran.

Since a child, Sherlock has enjoyed running. Now he ran, but not for enjoyment. The prize was not a metal or ribbon, but his life.

One of the workers ran toward Sherlock.

Sherlock waved his hand yelling, "Bomb, bomb, bomb!"

The worker almost tripped as he came to an abrupt stop and started running in the opposite direction. As the rescue worker ran, he shouted a warning.

Chaos had her day.

Shouts increased as everyone present scattered away from the building.

Sherlock was close to the opening now.

Sherlock heard a deafening rumble coming from behind him. His feet and body suddenly lifted from the ground, as He was propelled by air forward.

Something abruptly stopped his flight as the world turned black.

Authors note: Because this is a cliffhanger, I agreed to do a one time update before 24 hours. (See I do listen at times.) Love to all. Zacha
